Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for performing backup operation in In-memory database systems are described herein. The method includes receiving a request to create a backup of a data set from a main memory of the system. In response to the request, the data set is configured as read-only and a data structure having meta-data information identifying the blocks of data in the main memory that form the data set is invoked. A snapshot of the data structure is created and the data set is enabled for manipulation. Further, the method involves receiving a request to modify a block of data and copying the requested data block to a free memory block in the main memory. The data structure is updated by replacing the meta-data identifying the requested original data block with meta-data identifying the free memory block which holds a copy of the requested data block.

Abstract: Systems and method for forecasting release times in a multisystem software development environment are disclosed. A forecast engine may analyze the system specific data for multiple systems in a particular transport chain of systems in the development environment to determine when object code should be released from a source system to reach a target system in time to be included in an event, such as a software build or quality assurance test. The system specific data may include event schedules for each system in the transport chain. By analyzing the system specific data and the transport chain, the forecast engine can generate a time by which object code needs to be released to traverse the transport chain so that it is available to the target system for a particular scheduled event.

Abstract: A gate valve for a vacuum chamber comprises two carriers (5a) each connected to a frame structure providing an essentially plane front by two parallel links (6) and to an actuating rod (12a) by parallel levers (14). Upward motion of the actuating rods (12a) by a piston (17) causes, via the levers (14), upward motion of the carriers (5a) which is transformed into a circular motion by the links (6) where the carriers (5a) at the same time approach the front while remaining parallel to it, moving sealing plates (9) which are fixed to the carriers (5a) to an active position where they press against the front and seal openings (3) therein. Retraction of the piston (17) effects an inverse motion, whereby the sealing plates (9) are completely removed from the openings (3) and the latter made easily accessible.
